The trick about the lighting is you want to keep it in scale to the subject matter. I am not a fan of overly lit models/props, although it seems there is a crowd for that. Unfortunately I don't have a video log on what I did to this build, but plan on doing more in the future...
Great work, you really nailed the paint. The variations in panel colors are nice and subtle, which we don't see enough of, I have to say. It looks like you worked in that intermittent green-ish tint to the main body color.
